Elodie Carstensen is a visionary artist and independent fashion designer based in Berlin, weaving empathy, innovation, and storytelling into her creations. Inspired by the profound beauty of nature and the complexities of contemporary society, Elodie's designs transcend conventional boundaries, inviting wearers into a realm of untamed thoughts and transformative experiences.
Drawing from her transdisciplinary background at the Art Academy Berlin Weißensee and extensive experience in costume creation for film, music videos, and immersive performances, Elodie infuses her collections with a sense of theatricality and emotional depth. Her latest collection, "The Absence of Promised Safety," serves as a poignant exploration of urgent social issues, challenging the fashion industry to confront its complicity in societal crises.
With a commitment to transparency, social responsibility, and inclusivity, Elodie pioneers innovative approaches such as ice-dyeing techniques, historical size adaptability concepts, and garment rental models. Embracing post-consumerism and the sharing economy, she advocates for a sustainable and accessible fashion ecosystem that transcends mere aesthetics to create meaningful connections between wearer, garment, and experience.
